Virt-manager, in earlier releases, creates a file for a new DomU called, 
say, "DOMAIN", in /etc/xen/DOMAIN.
It's easy to miss those files among the other scripts and configuration 
files in /etc/xen, especially if you've been experimenting and doing 
lots of them, which is why I suggested a "find" command to look around 
for it. But checking the Xen init scripts is another good idea.
I've heard rumors of RedHat wanting to make the Xen configuration 
information database driven: this would allow tools like virt-manager to 
more correctly guess what domains exist but are turned off. But I dunno: 
if the authors of virt-manager can't be bothered to write a tool to 
actually scan for config files and list them as well......
